Matt Korcheck blowing up?

No, young Matt Korcheck hasn't forsaken the prep basketball life and become the explosives equivalent of Robbie Knievel, it's just that according to one Arizona scout Korcheck is playing his way into high level basketball options come time to select a college while ESPN's main recruiting guy, Joel Francisco, has a lesser take..

Korcheck is a 6-8 junior in Arizona and possesses offers from Utah State and Northern Arizona and possibly others at this time.

Anthony Rap at ArizonaPreps (a Rivals sub is required) recently wrote this: "...Korcheck proved why he is so highly regarded by our Arizona Preps' staff among post players in the state, as he competed with a high level of energy and aggression all weekend. Has very good size and strength which make him tough to keep off the offensive glass. Showed some good post skills and ran the floor very well. Had sort of a coming-out party this weekend with the scouts in attendance. Has a very high ceiling..."

ESPN's Joel Francisco offered this: "...Korcheck is another unknown commodity who elevated his stock as much as any prospect. He has a terrific frame with extremely long arms and is very quick off the floor. His frame is slight right now and he'll need to pack on some muscle, but the upside is quite evident. He runs effortlessly and is has a tremendous knack for being around the ball. He gets numerous tip-ins and he has excellent timing on the defensive end. His post skills are raw and he gets pushed out of the lane too easily against stronger competition, but he is a very good passer from the post. Korcheck is a diamond in the rough and with proper coaching and skill development he should be a fine player at the mid-major level..."
